OK here's what I would like: in the Eclipse package explorer, I see the following: (dot represents a clickable arrow that I can use to expand the folder)
PROJECT Source Folder Package Class Package.SubPackage Foo Bar Package.OtherSubPackage Package.OtherSubPackage.VerySubPackage OtherPackage Foobar OtherPackage.SubPackage Baz
Source Folder Package Class Package.SubPackage Foo Bar Package.OtherSubPackage Package.OtherSubPackage.VerySubPackage OtherPackage Foobar OtherPackage.SubPackage Baz
Package Class
Package.SubPackage Foo Bar
Package.OtherSubPackage
Package.OtherSubPackage.VerySubPackage
OtherPackage Foobar
OtherPackage.SubPackage Baz
Long story short, I want to have many packages, each with many subpackages, in a source folder (and several source folders, so making more won't solve the problem)--so on the order of a couple hundred packages per source folder--ten to twenty packages each with fifteen subpackages. Therefore, I want the hierarchy to look like this:
PROJECT Source Folder Package Class Package.SubPackage Foo Bar Package.OtherSubPackage Package.OtherSubPackage.VerySubPackage OtherPackage Foobar OtherPackage.SubPackage Baz
Source Folder Package Class Package.SubPackage Foo Bar Package.OtherSubPackage Package.OtherSubPackage.VerySubPackage OtherPackage Foobar OtherPackage.SubPackage Baz
Package Class Package.SubPackage Foo Bar Package.OtherSubPackage Package.OtherSubPackage.VerySubPackage
Package.SubPackage Foo Bar
Package.OtherSubPackage Package.OtherSubPackage.VerySubPackage
Package.OtherSubPackage.VerySubPackage
OtherPackage Foobar OtherPackage.SubPackage Baz
OtherPackage.SubPackage Baz
so I can open or close a package and see a list of subpackages instead of having package and subpackage all at the same level in the hierarchy--which again makes far too many packages simultaneously displayed. Note this is not a question about filesystem; the file system works fine as far as I can tell--it is only a question about the visual display in the Eclipse package explorer.
So: is there a way to add levels to the hierarchy? Thanks!! (Eclipse Helios on OS X 10.6)
Package Explorer / View Menu / Package Presentation... / Hierarchical
The "View Menu" can be opened with Ctrl + F10, or the small arrow-down icon in the top-right corner of the Package Explorer.
Here is representation of screen eclipse to make hierarachical.

For Eclipse in Macbook it is just 2 click process:
Click on view menu (3 dot symbol) in package explorer -> hover over package presentation -> Click on Hierarchical
